According to the table below(published by the New York Times [1] today on March 20), New York has almost 7 times the amount of registered infected Corona patients but "only" about 0.5% of them have died so far.

That's quite a good quota (for Corona). Let's have a look at the other side of the continent. There is Washington. Their deathrate is nearly 6%. That's quite a contrast. What can be the reason for these differences? In most other States the mortality rate is roughly around the usual of 2%.
Here are some (not seriously meant) hypotheses a manager might conclude from the published table:

• The New Yorkers are either doing something extremly right and those in Washington are doing something extremely wrong

• The dirty air in New York is poison for the virus. The more CO2, the better for human beings. Bad news for Greta Thunberg.

• Closer: New York may not be a typical state for eldery people to relax...,probably more young and healthy people live there while in Washington may be a pan of sick or eldery people spend the rest of their lives there (again, this isn't meant seriously, okay?)

• New York was better prepared for this predictable disaster

• or...the measures may have been taken inconsistently and/or the numbers are simply wrong

Let's get more curious and read the full article. We find valuable information by reading the details and start to understand what happened. It is noted that 2900 of the reported cases in New York were all registered only today. Interesting, probably it is too early for those new cases to die. If we ignore these new cases (7102-2900), we still have a quite good quote of 0.8%. Better than in many countries worldwide. But further reading the article reveals “At least 35 of the deaths were connected to a single nursing center in Washington" and "...many of those cases involved older people with other health problems that made them especially vulnerable to coronavirus”.
